Senate candidate Maurice Ferré said it is wrong to spend thousands of dollars to prolong the lives of the dying for a short time. WEST PALM BEACH -- Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Maurice Ferré says the United States spends an ``absurd'' amount on end-of-life care and should gradually move to a universal health system in which the government controls costs by setting prices for medical procedures and capping expenditures based on age and medical condition

Prolly right......: )
For the pinheads who couldn’t follow the iron-nee, it’s constenant
We have to cut off this genome at the source ~ we can’t get that done if we simply limit the overburden reduction to those he loves!
Marrice Ferre is just the candidate that seniors want to represent “God’s waiting room”.
Nooo. That would be Crist.
Disappointed these days. My mother is 83 and still has significant real estate holdings. At least three years ago I advised her to get liquid because 1. the real estate market in her area had not been hit yet and 2. the next Democrat President was going to work with a Democrat Congress to increase both the cap gains tax as well as the death tax. Did she listen to her lowly government bean counter son? Noooo. She listened to my more enlightened sisters. Now she can’t get rid of her property and it happens to be in the path of this oil slick and you know the taxes are on the way.
I REALLY wish the Ferre family would have kept all of their spawn back in Puerto Rico, but I’m sure that Freepers on PR would disagree. Rosario wrote some cool stories, but other than that, I don’t have much use for the Udalls of PR.
For every dead one that used $$$ in the 30 days before death, there are 3 or 4 that used the same $$$ and are still alive.
Just counting the dead ones is a rigged game.
My least favorite Miami Mayor was Steve Clark. At least Joe Carollo was entertaining.
Most EVIL Miami politician: Janet Reno, who was a close ally of Ferre.
IMO, this evil, demented, and vile person has no business creating death panels to determine who lives and who dies. Of course, there will be exceptions for people with money or influence.
End of life treatment usually involves making the patient “comfortable”. (although I question if that is ever fully achieved). So, does he just want to stop people’s morphine or the use of a nurse to assist the person? Where do they go? This stuff is getting very, very scary to me.
I always appreciate a thoughtful and well considered counter-argument.
Thank you
What relation is Maurice to the late Don Luis ?
Maurice is Don Luis’ nephew.
Sounds like Mr. Ferre disagrees with the choices Ted Kennedy made in the last year of his life...
"I did not know that !"
I’m very sorry to hear that. You should ask the dear leader to look into it....
Luis’s daughter (and Maurice’s cousin) Rosario wrote a good novel called Papeles de Pandora, and an even better one called La Casa de la Laguna. The family has been prominent in PR since at least the 19th century.
I wish that Don Luis’s son Antonio Luis had moved to Miami 30 years ago. Antonio Luis Ferré Rangel (yes, Don Luis’s first wife was a Rangel (pronounced ran-HELL); Charles Rangel’s grandfather was Puerto Rican) and his liberal sons have turned El Nuevo Día from a great pro-American, pro-business daily newspaper into a piece of crap spewing whichever propaganda they wish to push at that moment.
typical harvard graduate.
he was a carpet bagger when he went to miami, he still is a sleazy lunatic carpet bagger.
